Well, I used to look absolutely ridiculous, and now I look slightly less ridiculous. A la "Diva," an '80s French cult film with a guy who chopped onions wearing a mask and snorkel, I used to tromp into the kitchen with mine because my eyes bothered me so much when I'd chop onions. Enter the Onion Goggles! And yes, they really DO work. You do NOT have to have your nose covered, as I'd once believed. So far I've bought a pair for my son, myself, my brother, and a friend. The only downside is that they don't fit over eyeglasses, but since I'm not terribly farsighted this isn't a problem for me. If your eyes are sensitive to onion fumes, try these. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

These goggles fit like Oakley sunglasses. If you're a white male, like me, they will fit. But if you're an Asian female with a small nose bridge, like my fiancee, they will not.

These goggles really work.....I put them on then chop onions...no tears! And, they actually improve my vision a little, so I would highly recommend to people sensitive to onions.

I haven't used these to cut onions. I actually bought them for my girlfriend to wear to Burning Man. These are great for the desert and far superior to regular sunglasses for keeping dust out of your eyes (although, they don't block the sun, if that's a concern).

They could fit just a bit more snugly, and i've seen larger ones elsewhere that probably provide better protection, but these are worth considering for Burning Man aficionados or, I suppose, people that cut a lot of onions.

Five stars if you're cutting onions at Burning Man.

I bought these to watch TV. My ceiling fan dries my eyes out really badly and with summer coming, I was looking for a solution. I found these and thought that if they keep onion gas out, they should keep the fan air away. They work well for this and I could see how they would be great for the intended purpose.

My one problem is that if you wear them for say over an hour or so, they get a little uncomfortable. Since they were never meant for this length of wear I cannot fault them for this, but I thought I would post it on the off chance that anyone else was thinking of using them for this. They are still handy and I would probably still have bought them.

Honestly, I bought the glasses for riding on my husbands motorcycle at night, and they work great keeping the wind out of my eyes. I also have used them for safety goggles when we were taking out a cement pond in the backyard. I would use them for cutting onions if I were cutting more than one onion.

These are worthless. Too narrow to fit my face. It's not flexible and does not conform to your shape of face. You really are better off buying a cheap pair of swimming googles or ski googles, I wish I had.

I saw these reviewed on our local news and tried to buy them locally with no luck. Now that I have them I love them. When I wore contact lenses I could cut onions without crying much but now that I don't wear contacts anymore, the tearing was getting bad. The onion goggles have solved the problem. I wear them every time I have to cut onions and have had no problem with any tearing. I can smell the onion vapors still but have no crying. I would recommend these for anyone with this problem.

This is the first time I have ever cut an onion and not had any tears! I will be telling everyone I know about these.

Thank you onion goggles! The first time I have cut onions/shallots without tears! My husband never tears up when he chops up onions, but I do - a lot. I think some people are more sensitive to the tear causing agents in an onion. Now I wear these and I have no tears. I know some people have recommended wearting swim goggles instead of these and they work, put I prefer these because they are like glasses - no tight band around your head! Super idea!
